As a long time PSG supporter, and generally a fan of both lads—Marquinhos anchoring the middle of that list makes all the sense, he’s objectively world class. but Hakimi slotting in two spots below … 🧐🤨
mandem wicked faaast…but idk. I might just be all out of sorts from the mbappe departure vacuum of FUD at present and simply misapprehending this. Especially as I’ve previously had no gripes with Hakimi’s defending (not always thrilled when he’s given the ball in a pivotal attack and expected to do anything beyond getting down pitch before it goes into touch but … that’s not what this is about).
Still though, if I had to pick a second PSG Defender to forcibly include into the top 10 of this ranking, personally I’d go with Nuno every time, he’s almost as fast as Achraf (which is a tall order) and superior in every other aspect of the game IMO.
Am I wrong ? Someone tell me I’m wrong.

Top defenders in what terms? Worth? Performance?
Because to not include people like Hummels or Carvajal when it’s about performance is criminal
Where Theo Hernandez
The PL bias is insane
Gabriel Magalhaes should be there
I’m sorry but defensively Achraf is bad
